Atonement on Yom Kippur

Hello Duvduv and welcome to the forum.

My quick answers -

How did the Israelite's observe Yom Kippur for 70 years between the 2 Temples?  

The Torah says it is the day that will atone.

The Hebrew bible tells us what to do when there is no Temple or when in exile.

Please refrain from your "period" stance. Thank I

I was hoping to see some explanations from commentators. Because essentially what you are saying is that the service of the Kohen Gadol is not that important. In the case of impurity from the dead we remain impure because there is no red heifer etc. Everyone acknowledges this. Yet we don't acknowledge the lack of the atonement through the service of the High Priest on Yom kippur for the Jewish people
